he brought up a whole host of things. >> chlamydia. >> stephanie: shoot it. okay. what's the thing he said? in the south, he was saying if you have a gun you need to show it to people. >> not sure what that means. >> stephanie: men think you need to -- you need to see it. there's a lot of things that go off in your hands. i trust you have it. >> did you hear about the pizzeria in virginia beach if you show your gun or concealed carry permit, you get 20% off your pizza. >> to start a gunfight, you might get 20% off your head. >> sure, there's that. >> stephanie: i'm looking at a picture of john mccain at this town hall, that's a perfect example of someone who should not have a gun. that's a permanent scowl. it is not policy to ask me questions at a town hall. >> he's a deeply unpleasant man. >> they didn't cover that part in game change. >> stephanie: 47 minutes after the hour. right back on "the stephanie miller show." >> announcer: she gets insulted

military's going to use whatever tools they have at their disposal to save lives. most soldiers say it saves a lot of american soldiers' lives. >> caller: that's what it's supposed to do. >> stephanie: tom what i'm saying is i get the point as americans, we don't care about civilian casualties. we do. we always historically have. it is not wrong that it troubles people right? >> caller: right. it's not wrong but in the same sense, whenever you go to yemen and you teach people how to kill us you commit an act of treason. you get put on that list. and to make another point see it took our president two years to find osama bin laden. george bush and dick cheney and rumsfeld, we had him in afghanistan. then they called us off. but like the last caller was saying no one has gone to jail. >> stephanie: even if they sent a drone in then, think how many more people would be alive

today. >> caller: oh, of course. >> stephanie: right. all right, honey, thank you. let's go to doug in maryland. hey, doug. welcome. >> caller: hi, steph. long time fan ever since you guys came to current. thank you guys for that. i have a wife in afghanistan right now. it makes me nuts when i look at fox this morning and they're saying our military might not be able to defend itself properly if they have these cuts. if we cut out the contractors in afghanistan right now my wife would get the per diem they got ten years ago in iraq. we would still have plenty of leftover money. i'm all for defense cuts if you do it correctly and get rid of the contractors and pay the people in the suits to do what they're supposed to do. >> stephanie: right. but that's the thing is doing it correctly. and the president talked about that yesterday. >> obama: my door's open. i put tough cuts and reforms on the table. i'm willing to work with anybody to get this job done. none of us will get 100% of what we want. but nobody should want these

cuts to go through because the last thing our families can afford right now is pain imposed by partisan recklessness and rigidity here in washington. as i said at the state of the union, the american people have worked too hard, too long, rebuilding from one crisis to see their elected officials cause yet another one. >> stephanie: dale in irvine, you're on "the stephanie miller show." >> caller: good morning. >> stephanie: hi. >> caller: i was piggybacking what tom is saying about the gentleman who would rather send six in and if they die so be it. i can't see how people who have never served and probably don't have -- if a son was in there he wouldn't want them to go in there and die. >> stephanie: i think darryl, i don't think seal team six can do everything everywhere in the world. >> caller: no, they can't. i wish we didn't have to lose any soldiers.

i wish -- most of us wish we weren't in there. i don't want to send someone else's children in there to prove my point. that's crazy. >> stephanie: darryl i think the success of the bin laden operation, you know, may also make people feel like everything always goes off perfectly without a hitch. we never lose one soldier and we take out the number one terrorist in the world. that was like an incredible amount of planning. an incredibly gutsy call on the part of the president. that's what i mean. in some ways, it may look so easy. why can't they solve everything, right? >> caller: it is a dangerous part. a friend of mine who served with me was first american killed in the green zone. safe part of iraq back in 2007. it is a dangerous part. i don't want to see anybody over there at all period. >> stephanie: yep, i hear ya. curtis in georgia real quick on the same subject. hey, curtis, go ahead. >> caller: good morning, how are you? >> stephanie: go ahead. 30 seconds. >> caller: i wanted to weigh in, we're fighting a different war. this is what we call

asymmetrical warfare. the enemy is not identified. you can't identify him. the use of drones be it against americans that claim to be terrorists or whatever they want to say is the best way to fight this war. and that's just the bottom line. if you don't have a defined line and an enemy using drones to kill the enemy is the best way to go. >> stephanie: all right. thank you curtis. 58 minutes after the hour. back with right-wing world maxine waters and more on "the stephanie miller show."

back in your news cap jacki schechner in the current news center. vice president biden made some news in an online town hall with "parents" magazine when he said that if a reader is concerned about protecting herself from a possible intruder, she should buy a shotgun. he explained a shotgun would be just as effective as an assault rifle and easier to handle and there's no reason anybody needs 30 rounds. vice president himself owns two shotguns. something he often mentions and emphasized to participants of the town hall yesterday that no one is coming to take his or their guns. tomorrow the vice president is scheduled to travel to connecticut to participate in a gun violence gathering a conference addressing the issue of gun violence. that gathering is taking place about 12 miles from newtown connecticut. every year for the past 30 years, "national journal" ranks members of congress on their ideology. primarily based on roll call votes in relations to one another. so who wins top honors this year? well, this year's most

>> caller: my husband is aerospace worker. he works -- a subcontractor for one of the big boys. you know, we've seen drones up close when they were prototypes when we went and toured one of the big boys. and let's face it. it is just a new -- it is just a new way of working weaponry. people who seem to think that you're not going to have any casualties be it military or civilian are insane. it is part of war. my husband was also former military. this is how war is. especially when you're in areas where guerrilla warfare is practiced. this is just the reality. drones are actually more efficient because they see things that human eyes cannot. they're more precise. they can map out areas better than we have ever done even from

planes because we're now computerized. it is like google earth. >> stephanie: but with a hell fire missile. >> caller: they don't always use hell fire missiles. yes, that's the bad end of what they can do. they can map out much better than they have ever done before. and our military has better strategy that way. >> stephanie: karen i -- you know -- >> caller: i hate supporting that. believe me. it kills me. i'm such a liberal. >> stephanie: listen, i was just going to say, i'm a liberal that wears a peace sign every day. >> caller: my household is supported with blood money. how do you think i feel? it is hard. >> stephanie: karen, i don't mean -- everybody says you reflexively defended the president. he ran on saying i want to run a

owners of this idea and as the party who want the cuts to kick in they deserve to and will bear more responsibility for the negative impacts. you'll recall it was the first time in his talking about how we got here and opposition party attempted to attach any conditions to increasing the debt limit. this remember, this is how we got there. the republicans had the leverage at that point because it seemed plausible they were crazy enough to put the country into default. so fine the white house proposed it only months after republicans demanding huge spending cuts, refusing to prepare revenues. in other words, this was the administration's idea much in the same way it is an apparent idea to pay ransom to someone who's taken his child hostage. there was a gun to the white house head which was the possibility of the country going into default. never done before. never filibusters a cabinet pick before. >> get rid of social security and medicare or the dog gets it. >> stephanie: tomasky writes it would have remained a

proposal. if 218 republicans hadn't supported it, most republicans agreed the sequestration trigger was a good thing. paul ryan, all of them on tape saying what a good idea. it would force everyone to agree with a path forward in a long-term budget deal. >> how is that work out for you? >> stephanie: yeah. the republicans ace card is they know tomasky writes or they hope they're they know they're not equally affected. the blame will fall on the president. normally yes. but the majority of the people are on to them. they've wanted the spending reduction for two years. it hardly matters much who invented the mechanism for cuts. what matters is that people don't want them. i thought the president made a compelling case for yesterday. i think they think a clever hashtag is going to make people go look what the president did to the economy. tara in california about the sequester. hey, tara. >> caller: hi, stephanie. >> stephanie: hi. >> caller: first, i have to say that i end the evening with jon

incredible and yet not here we go again. this is next friday. the president put out another -- an idea of doing a short term thing. some people call it kicking the can down the road. it literally -- we're at a point where it just seems -- ungovernable, you know what i mean. the position the republicans have put us in. i don't know how do you see this playing out this time? >> well, you're absolutely correct. it is kicking the can down the road continues to happen. you know, we entered into this when we were trying to raise the debt ceiling. they insisted on tremendous cuts and so we worked out something to kick the can down the road, to pay the bills of the government. and to deal with this at a later time. we thought that this would be so awesome that they would see the light by the time we got to this point. and they would join with us in coming up with a way by which to get revenue in and to pay down

the debt. and do incredible balancing of the budget this way. but no, they're saying let it kick in. we don't care. we don't care if we prevent young kids from having a head start practice. we don't care if we endanger this country by not paying for our first responders who have the responsibility for our safety and security. we don't care if the food does not get inspected. this is serious! >> stephanie: i'll say. boy, when it comes at a time when again, for the first time in history as you say we got here because for the first time in history, they literally threaten toed have the united states go into default and tie it to this. now they have filibustered a republican war hero as the president's cabinet pick. again, first time in history. i just -- you feel like we just had an election. >> they're just obstructionists.

they have said that they wanted to change government as we know it. they're trying to take it apart piece by piece. these are people who hate government. they work in it but they came to destroy it. and it is so obvious. i think that they began to define themselves in this election. that's why they did so poorly. and you know, i think the american people are finally waking up and seeing that despite the fact they encourage us to get along to work together to compromise. there is no compromising with these people! they are mean. they're ornery and out to destroy this government. and thus, the democracy. >> stephanie: representative i was reading a quote from chris matthews. he literally compared it to how we would bring down enemy governments from the inside. the republicans are trying to do to -- i think what they're hoping for is they know how much the cuts will hurt the economy and then they'll blame the president, right? >> oh, yes. oh absolutely. every opportunity that they get to blame the president, to lie

to the american public, they do that. even recently, i heard that when the president announced that he put together this database so that they could get people more involved in government, more involved in issues, you know, addressing this through action and all of that, now they're calling it -- he gathered all of the secret information on everybody. ah-ha. see, we told you that your government is not your friend. they're invading your privacy. they have all of this information. they're going to use it against you. it is absolutely crazy! >> stephanie: well, yeah. again, i was just reading a piece from the "daily beast." he was saying, mike tomasky was saying he think the american people are on to the republicans. this is what the president was using the bully pulpit for yesterday. do you think so? this is what they're betting on. this is now the third or so game of chicken in a row they're playing with the president.

how do you think this is going to play out? >> well, i think it is going to backfire on them. the american public is indeed understanding the difference between the democrats and the republicans and the right-wingers and the tea party people and what they're doing. even though they recognize that they're in trouble at least some of them recognize that and they're supposed to be getting together to strategize and to change their ways and to show some respect to immigrants and all of that, they just can't seem to let it go. they just can't seem to do the right thing. and so i think they're headed toward the end of a republican party because the american people are getting on to them. they're going to continue to learn about who they are. i think it will bring them down. >> stephanie: newt gingrich, as much as said that. they won't vote for immigration if they think it's the president's because they don't like him. this is what we've come to? >> this is what we've come to.

mitch o'connell said his number one priority was to bring this president down. that's what we're dealing with. >> stephanie: i was struck, congresswoman, you were there in the hall for the state of the union which i thought was tremendous. i thought here are people clapping politely. the house republicans are going to try -- they're not going to try to do anything the president proposed largely the american people are on his side for. that's why they voted for him. they literally -- and i think john boehner said as much. none of that is going to happen they've just talked about in the state of the union. >> yeah. i think they're showing who they really are when they did not vote to help the people after the hurricane and the storm with sandy. and you know, this has never happened either. this is what this country does. we come to the aid of a community, of a city, of a state. whenever there is a natural

disaster. and people are you know, put in very difficult situations with their homes being destroyed. and we have to fight to get them to vote to support rebuilding and giving emergency aid. so they're crazy. >> stephanie: i love how you say it. you say it the way it is. congresswoman waters you know, obviously a lot of the emotional high point everybody thought the speech was clearly -- the president's thoughts on gun control. during the state of the union. but i mean, even -- where we've gotten in the debate in this country. there's ted nugent sitting in the chamber who has threatened the about -- the president's life. i heard some republican agreed with a right wing radio host and had to apologize the president is using gabby giffords as a prop in the gun control debate. have we gotten to the point where we can't have a decent human debate about these issues? >> we're way past the point where we can have a decent

debate. not only have they undermined this president in extraordinary ways, you know and people rallied with guns on their side, they said he was not born in the united states. every opportunity that they get to try and destroy him. they use it. you saw their reaction at the state of the union. these are guys who couldn't show sympathy for gabby giffords who, you know, almost lost her life in that extraordinary attack on her! and they don't care. they don't respect the fact that these children were killed in the way that they were killed up in connecticut. and when he did that extraordinary moment, when he talked about babies, they should have been on top of the ceiling

applauding with us. some of them did not stand or applaud. >> stephanie: congresswoman waters, do you think legislatively this time is different on gun control or no? >> i beg your pardon? >> stephanie: do you think things are different this time legislatively on gun control or not? >> i think that we've reached the time we're going to get something. i think the centerpiece of it is going to be universal background checks. i think we have a consensus and i think we'll be able to pull a few from the opposite side of the aisle to join in a majority on that. i think that, you know, the fact that your gun dealers, you know, have to do these background checks. but these people at these gun shows selling guns out of the back of their cars don't have to do it. we'll have to close that loophole. we have to have universal background checks on everybody. i think we can get to that. i think we might be able to get to some mental health resources and ways by which we can be

supportive of families and individuals who have problems that we need to teach them how to recognize and what to do and places to go to deal with that. so there are a few things that i think it will change but i don't believe we're going to take the huge step, the big step and really deal with an assault weapons ban in the way that many americans would like to do. >> stephanie: well, you know, i -- you know me. i'm a happy clappy liberal but i guess at this point, you have to feel like anything is better than nothing. who knows. if we get a new congress, what we can get done down the road. >> we're working very, very hard to get something done. the nra has been in control for too long. you know, literally all of the congress of united states of america. all of this money that they put out there to lobby you know, well over a million dollars every year. and then, you know, the support for their candidates and the

attempt to you know, stop candidates who are opposed to guns, they spend $7, $8 million doing that in the last election. they've intimidated elected officials for far too long. i'm pleased to see what mayor bloomberg is doing. mayor bloomberg is targeting those pro gun candidates. he's up in chicago where the seat for jesse jackson jr. is being contested. he is going to stop the candidates that is pro gun. he just knocked off one of the candidates here in california. in the last election. so we're finding that resources are gathering and gabby giffords and her husband started a foundation and so maybe they can put some support behind candidates who want to stand up but that are scared so that they can really vote their conscience on this stuff. >> stephanie: absolutely. way pastime. speak of which way pastime. you have to get back to democracy now.

chuck hagel filibuster. republicans have doubled down with their shameful filibuster of secretary of defense chuck hagel. add to this fresh insult of rand paul to put a hold on john brennan. looks like republicans are backing a cynical strategy that could compromise national security while proliferating partisanship. let's put it this perspective. republicans decided to filibuster a republican secretary of defense nominee. someone mitch mcconnell once called one of the most respected foreign policy. someone john mccain said would be an excellent secretary of state in his administration. it's fictional one. avalon writes this bitter confirmation fight is sadly ironic because picking a member of the opposite party usually an olive branch. remember how that would be seen as outreach? no longer. the abuse of a filibuster to delay or block the confirmation of the secretary of defense raises questions about filibuster reform because if a senator had to hold the floor and risk his bladder like jimmy
